As the summary and the boxplots also show, the majority of owner-occupied units were built before the 1940s (“age”).

The correlation plot (alpha = 0.001) shows significant negative correlations between the distance to employment centres (“dis”) and the proportion of non-retail business (“indus”), nitrogen oxide concentrations (“nox”), and the proportion of units built before the 1940s (“age”). There is a strong positive correlation (p < 0.001) between the property tax-rate (“tax”, full-value property-tax rate per $10,000) and accessability to radial highways (“rad”).
Let’s scale the data and print the summary of the scaled data. => All means are set to 0.00.
Next, let’s create a categorial variable from the scaled crime rate in Boston dataset => let’s use quantiles as break points and drop the old crime rate from the data set.

Finally, let’s fit an LDA biplot (where crime rate is the target variable and all other variables are predictor variables.) Let’s save the correct classes from “crime” data and predict new classes with the LDA.
From the prediction we can see that the prediction was correct for 15/23 in low, 15/29 in med_low, 16/19 in med_high and 31/31 in high. It looks like the model works better when predicting higher values (med_high or high, accuracy ~85-100%), where as for lower values the predictions were less accurate (med_low and low, accurary ~51-65%).

Let’s try the super-bonus..
… OK, something weird is happening here with the second plot but I can’t figure out what it is. Let’s just forget about the super-bonus. :’(
